For a quick pick me up at work or at home you can keep this cake mix in a ziplock bag for a fast coffee mug full of cake. You'll just need to mix one box of Angel Food cake mix with one box of any other cake mix and combine them together in a freezer bag. When you need a shot of cake-y goodness put 3 tablespoons of this mix in your mug with 2 tablespoons water and microwave on high for 1 minute.

This discovery comes from household weblog Now That's Nifty. Why does half the mix need to be Angel Food cake mix? Because that's the only commercial mix that includes egg whites and make the mix bind together. There's no frosting with this method, but you could keep a small jar of frosting in the fridge at work or home for these occasions. We've covered a similar instant chocolate cake in a coffee mug which requires more ingredients and you can't just keep it in a ziplock bag ready to go. I like this method as it requires no refrigerated ingredients and can probably be adapted to backpacking use.
